“Alex Brosque is a name synonymous with Sydney FC and his list of records are incredible. As captain he has led by example and it is no surprise the enormous success we have had under his leadership.

“He is hugely respected by the playing group and staff and everyone throughout football, and his final appearances will be landmark games for the club. Our intention is to send him out on a high with another piece of silverware.”

Sydney FC Chairman Scott Barlow also commended Brosque for his commitment to the Sky Blues.

“Alex Brosque is unquestionably Sydney FC’s greatest ever player. He will leave a legacy and a playing record which may never be surpassed in Sydney FC history.

“Our intention is to keep Alex involved with the club in some capacity and we will start talks with him shortly about exactly what that might be.”

In the meanwhile, the veteran will be looking to secure another Championship trophy with the Sky Blues. Brosque and his squad are set to take on Premiers Perth Glory in their last home game of the regular season this Thursday night – an event that will become a celebration of the captain and his service to Sydney FC.
